(a) Guide for planar cross-sections in the medium false lumen taken along the flow direction (flow from A to D). (b) Time evolution of continuum FCM volume fraction ϕ _fcm field for 4 cross-sections labeled as above. First column is plotted after the first 2 cardiac cycles, with time incremented 2 cardiac cycles for every subsequent column. (c–e) Cross-comparison of simulated thrombus boundaries extracted from panel (b_5) (red) with experimental thrombus shapes (gray) extracted from OCT images for flow dynamics at: (c) the original Re = 32.5; (d) twice higher Re = 65; (e) twice lower Re = 16.3. We note a shift in the predicted false lumen shown by an arrow at section C for the original Re, and underpredictions for other Re at this section.
